Jailbreakme.com was a userland JB tool that could be ran using safari.
Using a TIFF exploit it installed the back then installer app and JB ios 1.1.1
Then Comex came out with a similar safari based exploit that targeted a .pdf vulnerability and was able to jailbreak iOS 3.1.2 through 4.0.1
Version 3 of the same tool came later by comex and JB untethered most iOS devices on iOS 4.3-4.3.3 and iPad 2 on 4.3.3
Since then there were no JB programs that you could run without a computer attached to the idevice.
Those were the good old days.
It was fun seeing all the display models at Apple stores, Best buy and other locations all devices JB and with installed winterboard themes
